Mussel-inspired surface chemistry for multifunctional coatings.

ABSTRACT: We report a method to form multifunctional polymer coatings through simple dip-coating of objects in an aqueous solution of dopamine. Inspired by the composition of adhesive proteins in mussels, we used dopamine self-polymerization to form thin, surface-adherent polydopamine films onto a wide range of inorganic and organic materials, including noble metals, oxides, polymers, semiconductors, and ceramics. Secondary reactions can be used to create a variety of ad-layers, including self-assembled monolayers through deposition of long-chain molecular building blocks, metal films by electroless metallization, and bioinert and bioactive surfaces via grafting of macromolecules.

Project description:Osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis are closely associated during the bone regeneration process. The development of multifunctional bone repair scaffolds with dual therapeutic actions (pro-osteogenesis and anti-osteoclastogenesis) is still a challenging task for bone tissue engineering applications. Herein, through a facile surface coating process, mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) is adhered to the surface of a biocompatible porous scaffold followed by the immobilization of a small-molecule activator (LYN-1604 (LYN)) and the subsequent in situ coprecipitation of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocrystals. PDA, acting as an intermediate bridge, can provide strong LYN immobilization and biomineralization ability, while LYN targets osteoclast precursor cells to inhibit osteoclastic differentiation and functional activity, which endows LYN/HA-coated hybrid scaffolds with robust anti-osteoclastogenesis ability. Due to the synergistic effects of the LYN and HA components, the obtained three-dimensional hybrid scaffolds exhibited the dual effects of osteoclastic inhibition and osteogenic stimulation, thereby promoting bone tissue repair. Systematic characterization experiments confirmed the successful fabrication of LYN/HA-coated hybrid scaffolds, which exhibited an interconnected porous structure with nanoroughened surface topography, favorable hydrophilicity, and improved mechanical properties, as well as the sustained sequential release of LYN and Ca ions. In vitro experiments demonstrated that LYN/HA-coated hybrid scaffolds possessed satisfactory cytocompatibility, effectively promoting cell adhesion, spreading, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, matrix mineralization, and osteogenesis-related gene and protein secretion, as well as stimulating angiogenic differentiation of endothelial cells. In addition to osteogenesis, the engineered scaffolds also significantly reduced osteoclastogenesis, such as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity, F-actin ring staining, and osteoclastogenesis-related gene and protein secretion. More importantly, in a rat calvarial defect model, the newly developed hybrid scaffolds significantly promoted bone repair and regeneration. Microcomputed tomography, histological, and immunohistochemical analyses all revealed that the LYN/HA-coated hybrid scaffolds possessed not only reliable biosafety but also excellent osteogenesis-inducing and osteoclastogenesis-inhibiting effects, resulting in faster and higher-quality bone tissue regeneration. Taken together, this study offers a powerful and promising strategy to construct multifunctional nanocomposite scaffolds by promoting osteo/angiogenesis and suppressing osteoclastogenesis to accelerate bone regeneration.
